The popular '90s sitcom “Home Along Da Riles” cast came together to celebrate the opening of Philippine Film Industry Month last Sept. 1 with a free screening of the restored and remastered version of its 1993 movie adaptation.

Present during the premiere were the kids of Dolphy's iconic character Kevin Cosme starting with Claudine Barretto (Bing), Vandolph Quizon (Baldo), Boy 2 Quizon (Estong), Smokey Manaloto (Bill), and Gio Alvarez (Bob). They were also joined by Maybelyn dela Cruz (Maybe Madamba), Dang Cruz (Yaya Roxanne), and Nova Villa (Aling Ason). 

Nova Villa highlighted the significant role that laughter and comedy play in our culture, saying “Ngayon ay ating sariwain ang 13 years na pinasaya tayo ng Cosme family. Sariwang-sariwa pa rin po ang ‘Home Along da Riles’ sa mga kwentuhan sa bahay bahay, ayan po ang nagagawa ng comedy, kultura ng Pinoy yan, nakakatulong po ang comedy sa atin, napapagaan natin ang mabibigat na problema at mga hinaing sa buhay.”

 With the theme "Tuloy pa rin ang Tawanan," the FDCP's month-long showcase is dedicated to paying tribute to iconic Filipino comedians such as Dolphy, TVJ (Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon), Eugene Domingo, Aiai Delas Alas, Michael V, Vice Ganda, and many others who have played pivotal roles in shaping and enriching our film and TV culture.
